Alan Jackson has his own version of the 1% vs. 99% problem, and he has to contend with it every night he's on tour.

“The problem with me is I've had 60-something singles,” said the lanky country singer and songwriter earlier this week from his home outside Nashville. Jackson, 53, was gearing up for a West Coast swing that brings him back to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday. “It's gotten to be that there are so many songs and there's always something some of the people really want to hear and we can't always play everything. It always ends up I leave something out that somebody wanted to hear, and I feel bad.”
